LIQUID-DISTRIBUTING APPARATUS.' f

l i Specification of Letters Patent.

Application ined August 3, 190s. serian No,`4`46,l711. i

To all whom 'it ma,y concern:

Be it known tiat I, HERMAN BARBER, citizen ol the United States,residing at Elwood, in the county of Madison and State of Indiana, haveinvented certain new and useful Improvements in Liquid-DistributingApparatus, of which the following is a peci'fication.

' means ol gearing between the axle of the curved discharge machine andthe tank, which serves to rotate the tank when the machine is beinghauled, and which also serves to ump up the pressure necessary todischarge t e liquid.

The nature of the improvements will be more fully apparent from thefollowing description and the accompanying drawings in wlnch- Figurc 1is a perspective view of the machine in one position, showingv the frontend particularly; F showing the rear end of the machine; Fig. 3 is adetail in section showing particularly the connectionV between the acidholder and the main tank.

lteferrin' specifically to the drawings the l'r'ame of the device-consists' of an axle 6.,- wheels 7 one of which is'loose on the axleand the other of whichis fast thereon, and curved sidelbars 8 connectedat opposite ends by cross bars 9. connected across from one end of theside bars to the other, substantially as and for the urpose described inmy former patent. T ie cylindrical main tank 12 is mounted u )ontrunnions between th'o cross bars 9. ,'llie trunnion 13 at one end ishollow and rests in a bearing box 14- mounted upon one of the cross bars9.` The bearing box is threaded to receive the coupling l5 which screwstherein. This coupling carries a i e 16 which reaches to near the bottomo elle tank. The'coupling 15 is connected to delivery pipes 18, a stopcock .17 being'providcd to control theilow. The trunnion at the front oropposite end o1' thc tank is extended and bent to form a crank 19 whichmay be provided with a handle 20, said crank being carried in bearig. 2is a perspective viewN Truss rods 10 arev 4ings `upon thecross bars 9 atthat end.

he crank worksin a slottedlink 2,2 which o erates the pistons of pumps2,5 in a manne similar to that'described in the above metioned patent,the pumps being oper-` atedzavhen t has an outlet pi e-41`1 at thebottom ,provided with -a coc 42 and tapped into the bearin box 14,'sothat: acidfmay `flow from the holder intothe bearing Abox and thencethrough the hollowy trunnion 13 `into the lar re tank. l l' n order torotate the tank when the machine is being pulled, gearing is rovidedconsisting oi a beveled ear 43 ont ie axlewhich meshes with a beve edgear44 at `v-one end of an inwardly extending shaft 45 which has asprocket wheel46eonnectedby chain belt 47 e tankzisrotated.Said pum sare connectedwbywpipes 26 and'127 to t e' top of a sm'all tank or` acidholder 40 which to a sprocket wheel 4S on the trunnion 13.

The shaft and parts thereof are supported by a bracket 49 connected tothe axle and to the rear cross bar 9. Obviously when the machine ishauled along the ground the gearing will cause the tank to rotate.

At the front of the machine is a rectangular frame or bar 50, pivoted atits ends, as indicat'ed at 51, to the frame of the'machine. This servesas adiandle to pull the machine along, and also serves to su pport thesame in upright position, as shown 1n Fig. 2, being then dropped to theground, and caught by a bail 53 attached thereto and arranged to enga eover pins 54 on the slide bars 8.

hen the machine is moving the tank is rotated by the 'means described,and the pumps are also worked, which pumps up pressure in the tank 40and by o ening the stop cock 42 the acid in the hol er will be forcedinto the large tank which will contain a solution of soda, for theproduction of the ordinary fire extinguishing compound; and

urpose of discharging any liquid therein,l as?` For use lor example,when the device is used as a sprayer for white wash or for sprayingpoisonous or other compounds on plants or trees. The rotation of thelarge tank serves to thoralong the air pressure is constantly pumpedibip in the tank, for the purpose intended. f or use with a fireextinguishing'compound,

i it will therefore be unnecessaryY to delay while the pump is beingoperated, and for other essar the pumps may be operated by the hand e20, as in the patented machine.

I claim:

1. In a liquid distributing apparatus, in

combination, a wheeled frame, a rotatable said frame, a pi e leadingfrom the pum p to the tank, and w ieel-driven means for operating thepump and rotating the tank.

tween the pump and the tank, and means independent of said tank to4rotate the tank, 5 whereby the pump is operated when the tankcombination, a. frame, a rotatable tank having trunnions mounted inbearings on the frame, one ol the trunnionS being hollonY and rthe otherhaving a crank thereon, an air uses the ordinary movement of the machinewill, in consequence of the gearing, keep' sufficient pressure supplied,although, if neepulnp on the frame, and operatively connected to thecrank, an acid holder having a pipe i `connection to the hollowtrunnion, an air supply pipe leading from the pump to the j acid holder,and a discharge pipe leading i from the tank through the hollowtrunnion.

4. ln a liquid distributingr apparatus, in '1 emnbination, a tank, anacid holder having a. mixing tank, and an air pump mounted on pipeconnection thereto, an air pump connected to the holder and arranged toforce air through the same and into the tank,

l means to operate the pump,and a discharge A 2. In a liquiddistributing apparatus, in l, combination, a frame, a mixing tank rotajtably mounted in said frame, an air pump at i one end of the tank, acrank connection be- E pipe from the tank.

ln testimon)r whereof, lV allix my signature in presence of twowitnesses.
